CDT 2014 Journal

In the summer of 2014, Eszter Horanyi and I set out to thru-ride the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. As far as we know, our trip was the first attempt to traverse the trail in 30 years. It took us four months, during which we covered some 3700 miles.

This page pulls together all the photos, blog posts and GPX data from our trip.

Intro – before the ride

The shakedown ride. AZT thru-ride in March/April 2014. 15 days on the trail, running very similar setups.

GPX Data

green – CDT; cyan – CT; yellow – GDMBR; red – CDTbike 2014

Thus far the only thing I have ready is a roughly edited version of our trip. It eliminates most of the resupply runs we took, and fixes some errors, but still needs more work. Remember that we took several trails and options that I would emphatically not recommend other CDT riders take. So, an actual recommended CDTbike route is still to come. But this should be good for illustrative and day-dream purposes!
